ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Baking mix

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen mommy or daddy make pancakes? They usually have to mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl and then add some milk and eggs to make the batter.

Now, a baking mix is kind of like that, but someone else has already mixed up all the dry ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder and salt for you. So all you have to do is add some milk, eggs and maybe some oil, and you can make pancakes, muffins or even cake really quickly and easily!

Some baking mixes also come with fun additions like chocolate chips or blueberries to make your baked goods even yummier. And sometimes they even have instructions on the back that are super easy to follow so you can help mommy or daddy make some delicious treats!
